Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound to help with accurate assessment
Advanced Diagnostic Imaging
Accurate diagnosis is essential for developing an effective treatment plan and addressing the root cause of your pain. Our clinic offers diagnostic ultrasound for a thorough and real-time evaluation.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to capture real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This technology is highly effective in diagnosing sprains, strains, tears, and soft tissue conditions without exposure to radiation.
A key advantage of ultrasound imaging is its ability to assess joints in motion, revealing conditions that may not be visible in static imaging. This dynamic approach allows us to track progress over time, comparing pre- and post-treatment images to evaluate improvement in musculoskeletal function.
Dr. Hayden and Dr. Tamara are both certified and experienced in Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound and are able to provide precise assessments and personalised treatment pathways.
Common areas assessed with ultrasound include:
- Shoulder – Rotator cuff tears, impingement
- Elbow – Tennis/golfer’s elbow, ligament injuries
- Hand & Wrist – Tendon injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Hip – Bursitis, muscle tears
- Knee – Ligament damage, patellar tendon injuries
- Foot & Ankle – Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues
This ensures that you receive an accurate assessment, enabling us to provide the most effective, evidence-based treatment for your condition.
